Basketball postseason begins next week
We've reached the postseason for basketball, and the division tournaments will start next Tuesday.
Playing at Okolona, North Pontotoc and Ingomar, area teams will play for a spot in the north half tournament.
East Union boys enter the division tournament at Okolona with a 2-3 record. Going based on the rankings from Max Preps, that has the Urchins in fourth. The Lady Urchins have seen much improvement this season and will enter the tournament with the hopes of advancing to north half; a feat they are capable of accomplishing.
New Albany girls enter the Region 2-4A tournament as the top seed, while the Bulldogs will be second. The Lady Bulldogs will look to keep its undefeated division mark in tact, and for the Bulldogs, they will take on the Senatobia-Lewisburg winner next Thursday.
The Region 2-1A tournament will be at Ingomar, and for the Falcons, they enter having only lost to Coldwater in division play.
On the girls side, all eyes are on H.W. Byers, who brings in a perfect division record to the tournament.
There will be a lot of exciting games taking place next week. Best of luck to all of the Union County schools in the tournament.

P738-2012 Draft 09 - IEEE Draft Standard for Calculating the Current-Temperature Relationship of Bare Overhead ConductorsRevision of IEEE Std 738-2006 (Revision of IEEE Std 738-1993)
Status: Inactive - Draft
Skip to Main Content
A method of calculating the current-temperature relationship of bare overhead lines, giventhe weather conditions, is presented. Along with a mathematical method, sources of the values to be used in the calculation are indicated. This standard does not undertake to list actual temperature-ampacity relationships for a large number of conductors nor does it recommend appropriately conservative weather conditions for the rating of overhead power lines. It does, however, provide a standard method for doing such calculations for both constant and variable conductor current and weather conditions.

Measuring the outputs of Australian nursing research published 1995–2000
Aims. To analyse the research published in refereed nursing journals by Australian authors from 1995 to 2000.
Background. Analysis of the research topics and types of methodologies used by Australian nurse researchers has not been recently undertaken. The study was similar to an analysis of United Kingdom (UK) nursing research between 1988 and 1995 to allow comparison between the two countries.
Design. A quantitative approach analysed the research abstracts for the topic researched, source of data, location of data collection, paradigm and methodology used and funding source.
Results. A total of 509 articles from 11 generalist Australian and UK nursing journals were analysed. The highest numbers of articles were published in Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing and Journal of Advanced Nursing. The most popular topics were education of nurses (18·7%, n=95) and practice issues relating to patient care (15·3%, n=78). However, scant attention was paid to major Australian health issues. Most research was undertaken in the hospital setting (55·8%, n=247). Data were most often drawn from nurses themselves (40·7%, n=206), followed by patients (25·5%, n=129). Both quantitative (41%, n=203) and qualitative approaches (47%, n=230) were employed. A minority of studies acknowledged any funding (14·9%, n=76).
Conclusions. Research findings need to be applied in practice to improve patient care. Nurse researchers need to publish their findings and align their research interests to meet national health priorities. They need to be involved in setting these health priorities to ensure that nursing has a place in health research.

Product Description
From Amazon
This book explores the complicated issue of gender in computer games-particularly the development of video games for girls. One side is the concern that the average computer game, being attractive primarily to boys, furthers the technology access gap between the genders. Yet attempts to create computer games that girls want to play brings about another set of concerns: should games be gendered at all? And does having boys' games and girls' games merely reinforce the way gender differences are socialized in play?
Cassell and Jenkins have gathered the thoughts of several feminist and media scholars to explore the issues from multiple perspectives, but this is not a work confined to ivory-tower theorizing. Alongside the philosophical explorations are pragmatic investigations of the hard-nosed, real world of computer-game manufacture and sales. Particularly enlightening is a section featuring interviews with several leading creators of games for girls. And while all agree that it's good to be past the days when women in computer games were limited to scantily clad background figures or damsels in distress, the visions of an appropriate future are both diverse and well defended. There is no pretense here of easy answers, but there are many excellent questions. --Elizabeth Lewis --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
In this intriguing anthology of essays, studies and interviews, voices from both academia and industry discuss what the experience of computer games is and should be for girls. While game creators have recently discovered the young female consumer, few of these authors are happy with the offerings, which tend to push domesticity and an obsession with looks. Almost all the contributors share some basic belief that the marketplace is dominated by games promoting bad values while shortchanging values identifiable as truly feminist. As Cassell points out, feminism in this context can mean values not pertaining exclusively to gender. The resulting proposals for video games are filled with such buzzwords as "subjective," "creativity," "community" and "collaboration" (all good) as opposed to "violent," "competitive" and "conquest" (all bad). It is always nice to see theorists come down from the clouds to enter into discussions of everyday-life subjects such as the ramifications of the Tomb Raider character Lara Croft's ample endowment. The best move of the editors is to conclude the volume with commentary by girl gamers, many of whom worry that the contributors' solutions will underequip girls for the ugly real world. Says one: "I don't want to be friends! I want to be King!"

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
The focus on computer games for girls became a issue when it was noticed that while boys liked playing computer games and were more comfortable with computers; girls stayed away from these games. The result - girls would be computer illiterate and be unable to compete in the technical job market.
The book is openly feminist, dealing with how girls and women are represented in computer games; bringing in academic research into gender play, and interviewing the women in the game companies who are designing and producing the games. The interviews with the women in the game industry offers outsiders the rare opportunity to hear the opinions of the designers and developers. Some explain how market research determines what they produce, others provide a more personal view of what moves them to design. The word "empowerment" appears repeatedly.
The editors conclude with ideas for game play that gives voice and play space to both girls and boys. The book's inclusive points of view ends with a talk back piece by Game Grrls - women who enjoy playing action games to compete and win - often over men. The book provides a scholarly treatise on girls, computers, and society. Each of the academic chapters are followed by extensive bibliographies. For whose who are interested in the subject it is extremely valuable to have everything in one place.

I am a beginner programmer...
I have two issues, the worst one is with my left side navigation on this page I did:
It happens with Firefox (3.5.3). The navigation moves to the very bottom of the page. It happens most often on the "music" page (the longest page), but also others. A refresh often fixes the problem on all pages except the "music" page. The site works in Safari and IE. AND it works when I preview it in Dreamweaver in IE, Firefox, Safari.
In IE6 I have an additional problem of everything below the header moving like 100-200 px down, but that I can live with (although I would like to know why).
The navigation jumping to the bottom is the most annoying part. Please help!!
Thank you,

I've seen a similar presentation before, but I like repetition for something like flash devices.....one of my weak points!

I miss the old van. It had so much room. Now when we go camping we have to take two cars. Luckily, all the camping gear fits in one.

Queen City Days Fireworks - Olyphant, PA

Local fireworks display from over the weekend. I used audio from another source that was recording the same thing at the festival, so you can hear the fireworks. I tried using audio software to remove the voices a little but then the fireworks...no longer sounded like fireworks.

How I know I've become a better pilot
Posted by
| Jun 01, 2016 @ 10:22 AM | 1,102 Views
So I am flying my profile foamy during my son's baseball game yesterday. Don't worry, I was not flying over the game. I like flying across the parking lot at the football field because all the little brothers and sisters come running over and get 15 to 20 minutes of watching planes fly. That also comes with the inevitable "Can I fly it?" which I used to find distracting. Yesterday was different. The kid had to be something like 4, I just took off, and conversation went something like this:
Kid: Can I fly your plane.
Me: No.
Kid: Why?
Me: Because this plane is not a beginner plane.
Kid: But I know how to fly?
Me: What do you fly?
Kid: I have a drone.
Me: Drones are easy to fly. This is different.
Kid: I can fly it.
Me: No, you can't.
Kid: Yes, I can.
....this went of for 2 minutes....
Me: No, you can't
Kid: Yes, I...
Kid's older sister: Enough!
Kid: Can I touch it?
Me: No.
Kid: Why not?
Me: Some parts might be too hot to touch after flying.
Kid: I'm going to touch it.
Me: I'll call the police.
Kid: I'll call the police!
Me: Cool, maybe two different cops will show up and we can have them fight. If yours wins, you can touch it.
DX9: 30 seconds remaining.
Kid: What was that?
Me: I have to land now.
And that was pretty much it. The kids stayed behind the flight line like I asked them to, I landed, and then went back to watch some of the game. I think I was entertained with the conversation as much as the flight, but I was doing all kinds of stunts during the conversation. I wasn't even really thinking about it. That only took 4 years.

Been a while...
Posted by
| May 20, 2016 @ 12:10 PM | 1,911 Views
Over 6 months since I posted to my blog? I have been flying the whole time. It's been a mild winter so I was out in the cold. I waited for months to fly my Icon A5s (big and small) and the Island Beaver in the snow. When it did snow, it was melted by the time I got out of work. I was able to get almost all my other planes out this winter, so it was fun. I have noticed that my flying has greatly improved recently. Flying inverted patterns and other stunt maneuvers are feeling pretty natural to me. My 3D is improving too. I think it is going to be a fun summer.
Now that is is spring, I went to a fun fly at the LHS. They have a great field there. That is where I took the pic. One thing that changed is I no longer have my van. I have a RAV 4 now, so I have to be picky about what I bring, but I thought those 3 (and a profile foamy I forgot I brought) fit really nice in it.
Sadly, the LHS owner has the store open by appointment only now and has the field and his house up for sale. I hear that he is looking to move south permanently. He was nice enough to let me do his website, marketing, and social media for him. I did it all for store credit. Without his support I would not have the RC collection I do today. He has a few events planned for the spring and early summer, so hopefully I will be able to get up there a few more times. I am really going to miss that field and store, but I did make a lot of new friends hanging out there and we still get together. We'll just keep flying on.

My wife can fly? And what did the guy from work do?
Posted by
| Sep 28, 2015 @ 07:57 AM | 7,742 Views
So, some of you know me. Major RC addict and married to a wonderful woman who went from hating the hobby to politely asking fro the first floor of our house back every once in a while when we have guests. Well early this week she texted me asked if I could take Friday off to use my Yuneec Q500 to capture an event where she works. Jokingly I told her to take it and do it herself. That lead to a conversation followed by a trip to the local park. I did a set up and break down to show her what to do. Then she did a set up and did her first flight followed by a full break down and set up and flight. Friday she successfully flew two batteries and captures some great footage of the event safely. She even had a few people act as flight line security because I told her people will come too close not thinking about the danger. Sure enough they tried and her assistants kept them back. So my wife can fly a Q500 unassisted. I never thought I'd see the day.
Also last week, a guy at work who listens a group of us us talk about flying decided to try it without asking anyone's opinion on how to start. Sure enough, we heard it ended up in a tree. So I approached him and asked him the make and model. He had no clue. After trying to get more info from him for the better part of a day, he finnally gave up that he got it from Best Buy online and it cost $2800. Yep, be bought a DJI Inspire for his first drone and admitted to not reading the manual at all. I flew one once and know that you really need to read the manual and learn what the switched do. I am surprised he even armed it. I guess what my friend Jay says about he Inspire is true. Carl would of been better off giving Jay $2000 and letting him kick Carl in the shin. I always thought he was joking.

My LHS is Closing!
Posted by
| Sep 10, 2015 @ 03:40 PM | 2,360 Views
My LHS has only been around 5 years. I've probably been going there 3 and a half. I didn't know they were there until my son won a gift certificate from them. It was only for $25. The manager at the time was nice and gave my son a $50 Syma heli. I appreciated that and ended up buying a used mCX2 that I can get new today for the same price. But that is where it started.
I hated their web site back then. I begged them to let me do it. One day they agreed, but I would have to get paid in store credit. So I completely revamped their site. And then I started doing their fliers. Then I took over the social media, producing video reviews, and whatever else they asked. They treated me well, so I put a lot of time and effort into everything. Because of that I've been able to own a large number of planes, helis, boats, cars and trucks.
I am upset that they are closing, but not mad. I know when they moved to a much larger location that the rent went way up. My friend Bob S. predicted they would close then. He has seen a few LHSs open, try and go big, and then close. The rent was only part of the issue. A series of events happened that are really no ones fault, but the decision to close was sudden.
I will miss the LHS because I made a lot of friends there and we would hang out there for hours and just learn from each other. I enjoyed helping new hobbyists out. My biggest pet peeve was people who would come in, walk around and while leaving very loudly proclaim that the prices

Maintenance, Anyone?
Posted by
| Aug 27, 2015 @ 09:37 AM | 1,986 Views
I was at a Fun Fly over the weekend and the vendor there had a few Radian Pros for sale. I was kind of surprised when one of the other guys behind the flight line asked about it and other pilots immediately started saying how they all killed theirs and did not recommend it. I have about 10 flights on mine and it climbs fast and glides beautifully. After a few hours it started become clear how they killed their RPs as I watched them crash one plane after another. One smashed the nose off a CZ cub on take off. Another went home with only one out of 5 planes still flying and talking about how he has nothing to fly a 2200 3S batt in at the end of the day. I know some of these guys have been flying longer than I have, but I think they just fly things until they die. I brought a lot to fly over the 2 days at the Fun Fly and did not crash anything...even the Rare Bear.
Part of bringing so much to the Fun Fly was for maintenance checks. It is about that time of year where everything gets tested. I do it in the Spring and the Fall. The servos on the UMX planes got a cleaning and little FaderLube and the other electronics and surfaces checked. The bigger planes got a full test of the servos and electronics with a little glue, tape, or oil where needed. I didn't get to everything, but I got a lot done. The only issue I found was the day after the Fun Fly on an Inverza. The tail wheel was missing and I added a little tape to the rudder because it looks like I landed without it and

Great Video of Camp Archbald in Brooklyn, PA
Posted by
| Jul 27, 2015 @ 10:59 AM | 2,275 Views
My wife insisted that I had to come and see the Girl Scout camp that my daughter was at when it was time to pick her up. I insisted that if it was that nice that I should bring my Q500. I did ask permission to fly first and the only stipulation was that I not take any close up video of any of the other campers. I explained the fish eye lens and how close you really need to be for that to happen and promised to not fly around anyone. Luckily my daughter's cabin was empty and no one was around. She was embarrassed by the big drone when we were there, but after watch the video she was glad I did it because it was one of her best weeks this summer. She really did not want to come home. Next year she may become a counselor and do 3 weeks.

The moment you remember....
Posted by
| Jun 22, 2015 @ 02:17 PM | 2,731 Views
that the clevis broke on the Apprentice last year and you didn't fix it, so you have no steering on the front wheel. Unfortunately yesterday that moment was during my first attempt at landing and the wheel was sideways. I took it back up and around and decided to try landing on a hill behind me. I was able to drag the tail and rear wheels quick. By the time the front wheel hit the speed was pretty slow. It just spun sideways and the rear wheels popped out. No other damage. I didn't see the wheel not moving in the tall grass when testing the surfaces and the wheel was straight when I hand launched it. The side of the clevis with the pin was still there and I vaguely remember setting it in the control arm so it stayed in place in storage. Next time something breaks, I'm going to leave it looking broken until I fix it.

I missed the first 2 this year, but this is the big one. I will be there on the 27th. It is a great field with no pilot fees, a pavilion, and places to charge up. Jeff even grills up lunch. A lot of people show up to the July 4th one and show off tons of stuff. Check out the flier for details and hope to see some fellow RCGroup members there!

Yet Another Good Flying Weekend (Fireworks Video!)
Posted by
| Jun 08, 2015 @ 10:18 AM | 2,238 Views
Friday night was perfect for flying. I had all my 2S 180 to 300 mah lipos charged and ready to be tested because some of them are 2 years old. They have to be going bad, right? I grabbed the UMX Icon and headed to the park. All of them performed fine, but once a wire did slip and I lost the rudder while in the air. I was able to land it safely but it took a minute for the rudder to start working again. I was worried I burned the linear servo motor out. I can replace them, but they are so tiny.
Saturday I got my 180 CFX fixed and upgraded with Lynx metal servo gears/servo saver kit. It is good as new and hopefully will take crashes better from now on. Still, $28 for the upgrades, some Formula 560 on the canopy where the seams came apart, and some plastic welding on the broken landing gear using a soldering iron and PLA 3D printer plastic was a pretty cheap fix and it flies like it is new. I can't complain.
Saturday night, the Yuneec Q500 and fireworks from down the block....

Sunday was too windy for UMX stuff. I walked around the house looking for something good to fly and decided the Sport Cub has been sitting too long because I couldn't remember how it handled. It turns out I love it. Very precise sport flying. I even spent a minute with the flaps on and no throttle just gliding into the wind. I didn't even mind it when some guy came up to me and asked me if it was a drone. He kept talking to me when I was done. I explaining about AS3X and how easy it is to fly even in the wind with it, how SAFE planes help you learn to fly, and all abotu the Sportsman S+ coming out that can almost land itself. He ended up leaving with directions to my LHS. I really wish I did have my Q500 with me. That would have blown his mind.

Great Weekend for Flying
Posted by
| May 26, 2015 @ 09:29 AM | 2,571 Views
What a weekend for flying. I started Saturday off with the 180 CFX, 360 CFX, UMX Icon, Spedix S250, and the UMX SBach. I didn't have the Spedix set up right for rattitude and ended up breaking 2 props in a horrific crash in some grass. Then I had to do yard work and when I was done my thumbs were too shaky for flying, even on Sunday. The only thing I could fly comfortably was my new UMX PT-17 and I loved it. I put 6 batteries through it on Sunday while taking a nice long breaks in between each flight so I wouldn't kill the motor.
Monday I was back out with Bob S. this time in the windiest park in the area. He picked up a Spedix S250 too and mine was ready to go again. I stayed in self leveling mode this time and I thought I had some descent speed. Then Bob took off and showed me how it was really done. He set all 3 banks for high rates and was incredible right up until he lost orientation because of the sun about 3 minutes in and plowed it into the asphalt. He broke 4 props and two battery straps. Plus a motor plug came loose. But when we put new props on, it was good a new. The Spedix 250 BNF is an incredibly durable frame. If I broke mine, I would get a new one. After the quad fun we flew a Night VisionAire around in the wind for a few batteries. I landed once without any forward or backwards movement when the wind kicked up. Bob did this snap roll right into a huge gust of wind and the plane came to a dead stop at the end of the roll. Then Bob showed off with his Edge

As usual, we were going a review at the LHS and I got to try something out...then ended up bringing it home. I need to invest in a good FPV system now as our started Spektrum kit is not the best. I think I might go with a Black Pearl system on a Tripod instead of goggles. I'm onle of those people who fogs them up easily even with anti fog stuff on the glass.

Sunday Flying|Getting the UMX PT-17|UMX SBach non-3D
Posted by
| May 19, 2015 @ 10:13 AM | 2,419 Views
It was an interesting Sunday of flying. I did some manual work around the house on Saturday. The first thing I took out Sunday was the Blade 300 CFX to show off at the LHS. Piros were good. Loops were good. During my first rainbow my left thumb started twitching uncontrollably left and right and that prompted an immediate landing. I was able to get it back up for some hovering and orientation practice to run the battery down to storage, but no more helis for the day. I did break out the old profile foamy for the second time in a week.
Previously I'd fly the foamy on high rates only. With other planes I've picked up with precision and 3D modes, I've learned that switching between the two at the right times helps depending on what you want to do. So I started using low rates to line up for another attempt at prop hanging and then switched to high rates to help keep it in place. It was probably the longest I've ever hovered. 10 seconds isn't very long compared to the guys at the field who just hover in place for an entire battery, but it is the first time I felt I understood the control and not just guessing at it.
After that the LHS let me fly the little UMX brushed PT-17 from E-Flite. It is a surprisingly fun to fly staggered bipe. It handles better than the Champ and Sport Cub S. If it was RTF, it would make a great beginner plane. The rudder and elevator have a lot of action. The ailerons are a bit slow when rolling, but 2 out of isn't bad for a relaxing little flight

Ground Fun and Slow Motion

The summer weather is here and my son wanted to finish watching a TV show. I said I had batteries charged for the Dominus TR. He said he would go out if I went out with him. That was a no brainer. Then he wanted me to start taking video jumping off the tree in the backyard. I switched to the slow motion option for fun and the videos were not half bad. Good enough for me to share. His final jump is my favorite, but I love the sound of the truck hitting something in slow motion.

Kleinworts Goes Live With CMG's Cobra Limits Credit Risk System
U.K.-based Computer Management Group (CMG) has released a credit risk management system dubbed Cobra Limits. Cobra Limits was initially developed for Kleinwort Benson, the London-based merchant bank. Kleinwort was already using CMG's Cobra regulatory reporting software when it approached the vendor to develop a consolidated global view of the bank's credit exposures. Since its rollout at the bank last summer, CMG has continued to enhance Cobra Limits, including a recent upgrade that added functionality...

President Obama on Sunday called for a "thorough" and "rigorous" investigation following the scandal surrounding the Secret Service officials tasked with his protection.
"What happened here in Colombia is being investigated by the director of the Secret Service. I expect that investigation to be thorough and I expect it to be rigorous," the president told reporters in his first public reaction to the controversy.

The hotel offers a great location, in the thick of it all, with bars and restaurants of D'mall, but nevertheless a calm tranquil feeling once inside the lobby and courtyard of the property.
Very friendly and charming employees greet you upon arrival at Caticlan airport with a transfer that is swift and efficient to the hotel, as was the check in, sadly that's where the efficiency stops.
I stayed in a suite, well large room with a bath in reality; the hotel is badly in need of maintenance or someone who actually follows up and repairs the items that are broken.
The toilet did not flush, reported, no action for the three days I was there, the tap over the sink was loose, the drainage was poor, the rain forest shower head was too high, as a consequence the water sprayed all over the floor, only one hand towel for two people, ran out of toilet paper, had to ask for more. There is a fully stocked mini bar, which I am sure no one uses, apart from bringing their own produce, so pretty useless, a kettle or coffeemaker in the room would have been a better option.
Breakfast was promptly cleared away at 10h00, in fact by 09h30 most food items had ran out with only replenishment once asking for more, made me feel like Oliver Twist.
Heavy club music was blaring out from the pool deck at 3:00pm, so the calm and tranquility was broken.
The entire hotel has seen better days, has such an overabundance of staff, which smiles and say yes, but does not get you very far with service, the staff are in need of training in service and follow up, if a manager was around to direct the overabundance of staff, with this, The Tides could really be on to a winner on the block in Boracay, if they got the basics right.
I would have expected better, for the price paid.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Tides Hotel Boracay - A uniquely themed boutique hotel that offers exceptional and personalized service.

Kris Johnson of Turn Back Time didn't unload his Jeep on Saturday night after a 3 night stand at Noble Court in Bellevue. I received this e-mail from him on what was swiped.
Be advised the following items were stolen from my car in my driveway on Sunday morning between 2:20 AM and approx 4:30 AM
BOSE 502b sub woofer with cable (White with big BOSE label)
Motion Sound Pro-3 and Low Pro 120 with cables/footswitch (Black with gray inserts)
Roland Cube 30 guitar amp with mic and cables
Fender Squire Telecaster guitar with Yamaha Midi pickup installed with midi cable and soft case (Black with Black pick guard)
One of a kind prototype Yamaha SE 700 HE guitar with hard-shell case. (Pink with blue pearl finish)
6 SM 57 Shure mics and cables
3 Boom stands and clips
2 speaker stands
2 50 ft Speakon speaker cables
1 small milk crate full of adaptors and patch cables
Please pass the word. The Yamaha guitar is not replaceable.
So you all know, the BOSE system he's talking about isn't just the BOSE system you can pick up at GC....it's the industrial model that's used for Churches and Theaters. Kris is the only one I know that has this model and it's impressive (small but incredible sound). If anyone comes across this it's very easy to identify cause it's WHITE!!! Most BOSE stuff I've seen in pro-audio is black and this makes this stand out.
If you hear anything please contact Kris at "firstname.lastname@example.com"

No indication of any stratus of fog development overnight. Overall think should see similar day tomorrow as occurred today. 18 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED / DISCUSSION... Forecast package and discussions below look good, and no major changes were made on the evening update. 42 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED / SHORT TERM... No serious changes have been made to the short term forecast this afternoon. Winds continue to remain out of the southeast as the strong surface high continues to drive the synoptic scale flow. On Friday, showers and thunderstorms will move onshore slightly, but continue to hug the coastline. A surge of moisture moves into the forecast come this weekend, resulting in precip making its way more inland come Saturday and Sunday. As the surface ridge begins to drift off to the east, the next best chance for storm coverage will be on Sunday and into the beginning of your next work week as convection starts to ramp up. Temperatures will remain persistent, keeping highs in the 90s, and lows in the mid 70s. 08 LONG TERM... The ridge continues to flatten and shift westward to start out the long term, allowing a more typical summer-like pattern to take place. PWs are forecast to reach around 2.1" both Sunday and Monday, which will cause higher coverage in afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Have capped PoPs for Sunday and Monday at 40 for now, but these may need to be increased as confidence grows. On Tuesday PWs decrease slightly to around 2" but will still be plenty good enough for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. On Wednesday, the GFS has a disturbance moving along the southern side of a ridge over the SE CONUS and into SE Texas. However, the ECMWF currently takes it into Alabama. Currently have isolated to scattered PoPs in for Wednesday, but this also may change as we get closer and the models start trending towards one solution. With the increase in afternoon showers and thunderstorms through the extended period also comes more cloud cover, which will help keep high temperatures a few degrees cooler than in the short term (although still hot). Heat index values generally in the low to mid 100s are expected each afternoon. 11 MARINE... A typical summertime pattern in place, which will result in continued light to moderate easterly/southeasterly flow across the waters. Water vapor imagery continues to show upper disturbances riding along the periphery of the ridge that should bring precipitation chances daily. However, potential is likely a little bit lower in the near term until the ridge flattens out some and lower heights allow for greater precip coverage. 25 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

We will have a costume contest dress up as your favourite super hero or super villain. Play our defeat your villain game - everyone gets to pick a super hero card and then they have to adventure around the campground until they find the villain card that matches their super hero. When you find it, bring it back to the store for a prize! And a digital Bingo game everyone gets a bingo card with the pictures of superheros on it.

We will have other planned activities throughout the weekend all focused on super heros/villians. Dress up to ride on the wagon at night. A movie themed on super heroes and all the usual fun things to do around the campground and of course, in true Long Weekend fashion, a fireworks display will make this weekend a BAM, POW, BLAST.
This is going to be a great weekend to cool down in the midst of the summer heat. We are going to have a slip n slide time on the Big Bouncer. Kids can put on their swim suits and we will spray the Big Bouncer down and let them slide along it supervised of course. And one at a time! The wagon will be loaded with water fun a huge water gun fight with water guns on the wagon and water guns on the ground kids and parents can go toe to toe or you can turn your gun on a complete stranger and soak them. Bring your own guns or water bottles. Biggest splash contest will be loads of fun soaking more than just those jumping into the water. From my own experience with my kids, who have water guns in the bath and use them daily, they never get bored. They love to jump in the pool every time we go swimming. And who doesnt love to slip and slide? Trust me, if you have kids, this weekend is a must.
Okay, who doesnt LOVE chocolate? I know I do. And this weekend is going to be packed with chocolate. We will have a chocolate scavenger hunt early in the morning so they dont melt in the sun! We will have a chocolate slip and slide. A chocolate buffet of treats including a chocolate fountain!!!! Enjoy hot chocolate during movie night. And Sunday morning wraps up our amazing decadent weekend with chocolate chip pancake breakfast. If you have a sweet tooth, do not miss out on this weekend. We will have all the usual favourites too. Wagon rides, games, crafts, dream boards. Dont forget about collecting your themed duckies!
I know that I often spend too much time being an adult and not enough loving that inner child! So, this weekend is all dedicated to just being a kid. Well have a balloon artist who will make balloon art animals or swords etc. I want an elephant. We are planning face painting cause who doesnt love to run around all day dressed up like a lion or a butterfly? And a huge inflatable slide suitable for ALL ages. If I dont see a bunch of adults racing up those stairs to go down the slide then I dont mind being the only one!!! And lots of games and crafts and other fun things to do all weekend long. And to top it off, Birthday Party Pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning. If it happens to be within a week of your actual birthday then free all you can eat pancakes for you!!! I mean dont those look incredible???
This weekend last year was a huge hit. The corn was perfect. Sweet and ripe and add a little butter and salt Or a lot. and wow it was spectacular. Come enjoy some amazing corn on the cob on us. Lather it with butter and salt and eat it right on the spot, dripping all down your face, or take a plate of it back to your campsite to enjoy with your steaks and baked potatoes. We will have a corn themed scavenger hunt and enjoy some yummy popcorn during movie night. All the usual fun things like crafts and wagon and ice cream social too. ;(Thats my little man eating corn on the right)
I call this HI Lo weekend because it is a high and a low for me. High because its a long weekend, and low, because it means school is just about to start again and the camping season is getting close to wrapping up. So, we will be focusing on things going high and going low. We have rockets for the kids. They get to decorate and improve their own rocket and we will have a rocket launching time to see whose rocket can get the highest. We will have a limbo contest to see who can go the lowest. A fireworks display will go up high in the sky. And everyone will go down low on the trail and play giant soccer on our soccer field at the bottom of the hill. Lots of exciting activities to give the whole family a fun filled weekend just before going back to school. Leave Your Rig starts up again this weekend.
School is back in and we figured what a great weekend for parents to get away get the inlaws to watch the kids for the weekend and come have a date weekend. Youve worked hard all summer long to keep the kids happy and entertained and now its time for you two to have some time away. Or maybe you dont have kids or your kids are all grown up and you just want a fun weekend away. With so many wineries in the area, many people come and stay here and then go take a tour of all the wineries. Well, we wanted to add to the fun by having our very own wine tasting right at the campground. Feel free to visit some of the other wineries during the day and then enjoy some local wine at a tasting back at the KOA at night. We will still have some kids activities planned just in case you cant get a sitter but still want to come enjoy the wine tasting. This is a Leave Your Rig weekend.
This is one of my favourite weekends. Its where we get to reward all of the Value Kard holders with a free night of camping. If you are a valid Value Kard holder and you come camping on Friday night, then Saturday night is on us. This weekend is always packed as we have a lot of valued customers who deserve a free night of camping. All the fun activities such as wagon rides, crafts, dream boards, movie night, ice cream social, the Big Bouncer, the pool (weather permitting) and the playgrounds will keep the family busy and we will extend the special treatment by selling a yummy pancake breakfast on Sunday morning. Even if youve never had a value kard before, we encourage you to buy a kard and join in the fun and free camping of this weekend. This is a Leave Your Rig weekend.
This is a very popular weekend in this region. Brighton hosts the Annual Apple Fest http://brightonapplefest.ca/ due to the abundance of orchards that are ready for harvest. They have all their wares on display and for sale. If you like apples, you do not want to miss out on this amazing weekend. To add to the fun, we will have apple bobbing set up for anyone who wants to test their skills. Last year the kids had a blast. Bring your kids camping for the weekend, head to the Apple Fest and then spend the rest of your time relaxing around the campground while they burn off the energy of their caramel apples on the Big Bouncer or playing tag on the playgrounds. This is a Leave Your Rig weekend.
Take advantage of one of the last weekends of the camping season in Canada and help Welcome in October. And what better way to celebrate this amazing fall month and the very near end of camping with an Oktoberfest party. Sausages, Sauerkraut, and beer are the yummy fare on the menu for Saturday night. Bring your smart phones because we will have our digital scavenger hunt for the whole family to play. Wagon rides, movie nights, crafts and dream boarding will give the kids lots of fun to create a memorable weekend. If you have a lederhosen, wed love to see it!!! This is a Leave Your Rig weekend.
This is an amazing weekend to remember all the things we have to be thankful for. And honestly, what better thing to be thankful for than spending time with family and eating Turkey!!! We have lots of fun events planned for this Thanksgiving Long Weekend. Pumpkin bowling. Pumpkin Ring Tossing. Crafts. Dream Boards. Scavenger Hunt/Games. Wagon Rides. Movie Nights. And the ultimate catered turkey dinner with all the fixings. We have hired the same caterer who made the most amazing turkey dinner as last year.

Editorial Reviews
★ This radiant book is an exploration of the bond between a daughter and father and the book overflows with some of the most eloquent poetic moments in print. HOME is an invitation, a very personal one, and should not be passed over. -Grady Harp, Hall of Fame Reviewer
★ A fine book for those of us who do enjoy more elegant things in life. The cover art alone is probably worth the price of admission. -Oleg Medvedkov, Top 500 Reviewer
From the Author
In my next sketch I let the lamp swing even higher into the air. The place has completely tilted, and my father's armchair is ascending above the rest of the furniture. This is the sketch I used for an oil painting called My Father's Armchair, which later became the cover of my poetry book, Home.
Sucked in by a force, I'm flying through a tunnel
The tunnel of memory that leads me back home
The past blurs my present, so my vision is double
Walls of my childhood curve into a dome
From here I can see that home, tilting
And falling from place, all the lamps are aflame
My father's empty chair is slowly ascending
Tipped by the light, outlining its frame

This book is about emotion and the strength that sadness can evoke in the best of us. Uvi understands at a gut level the purpose of art and here she writes a frame around her father's journey, which has inspired her own.
Poznansky gives us a glimpse of lives most different, of her father's journey, of her own. If you've disdained the search for a higher octave of writing on Kindle, recant: "Home" proves you wrong. In this book, the author shows us the world through an unblinking eye. And what we see, we may not like: humanity torn open, a father lost, life among the ruins of a single soul.
Be warned: this book is dark; it must be to take us where it wants to go, to guide us through a storm of feeling. Zeev Kachel's numerous poems in "Home" share his loneliness, his talent -- and hers as she writes, evoking a spirit from beyond life's end.
I have well reviewed Uvi Poznansky before, but this book is special, even for a writer as gifted as she. Of her father, I knew nothing. Now I know more. And I am certain that talent is inheritable: we must thank the father for the daughter, and the daughter for writing a book this brave. The poems and stories here take us through war and displacement and despair, and back again.Read more ›
This is the second book that I have read and reviewed by this gifted author. It is hard to put into words the emotion one feels after reading her work. There is a great sadness found here...almost sorrowful in its content. Her writing touches my heart to the core as I sense the courage it takes to show such deep feeling and pain. Yes...the release of pain is what I hear in her words. Her artistic gift is the expression of Ms. Poznansky's experiences. Perhaps, she is vicariously living and writing through the eyes of her father and touching our lives with her unmistakeable ability to share her feelings as well as her dearly departed father's innermost self with her readers.
Ms. Poznansky does not shy away from dealing with some darker subjects nor does her father. It is apparent to me that Zeev Kachel, the author of many of the numerous poems included in "Home", suffered a great deal. His poetry shows the depth of his loneliness in his later years and the therapeutic outlet he embraced in his poetry. In doing so, he is able to release some of his pain as well as share his talent. It is obvious to me that father and daughter share a common artistic gift. Ms. Poznansky is showing so much of both their talents in this thought-provoking and touching book.
"Home" is not for the faint of heart. It is meant to reach deep inside the reader's soul and stir those raw emotions that not all can...or want to, identify with. It appears to me that Zeev Kachel suffered a great deal throughout his life as he so poetically states "Now I cry out of a burst of pain and howl in darkness out of loneliness.Read more ›
Hard to describe, but if you want a new literary fiction genius, you just found one in Uvi.
It is extremely rare that a book creates such an emotional read as this one did for me. I had to stop several times to completely digest the words written on the pages. Due to the personal nature of both Uvi's and her Father's poems, I felt like I was trespassing into their private worlds. Yes, I was invited into their worlds but the prose and the poetry contained therein are both deep and meaningful. I could feel the pain of the Father when lamenting about his wife's absence. I could feel the pain of Uvi when lamenting about being lonely in 'Even One Mark'. And, I am still pondering 'Blade' which was written in 2004. These are raw emotions that are somehow eloquently expressed with grace.
The entire gamut of human emotions is covered in this book - heartbreak, loneliness, questions of 'why', death and living, life and loving and even war and the instinct to survive. 'Somehow it feels lighter in the dark' is one quote that sums the book up well.
Most highly recommended.

* Crest Financial to take fight against Sprint deal to FCC
* Crest to argue Sprint deal bad for U.S. taxpayers
* Kansas court says Sprint must face lawsuit by its investors
By Tom Hals
Jan 4 A large Clearwire Corp shareholder said on Friday it plans to ask the U.S. telecoms regulator to block the sale of the wireless service provider to its majority owner, Sprint Nextel Corp, stepping up the investor's campaign against the deal.
Crest Financial's general counsel also said on a call with reporters that it also plans to ask the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to block Sprint's plan to sell 70 percent of itself to Softbank Corp of Japan for $20 billion.
Going to the FCC is a new line of attack on the Sprint deal by Crest, which has also filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Clearwire investors. Dave Schumacher, Crest's general counsel, said on Friday the fund said other minority investors told Crest they did not support the Sprint deal, but he did not provide details.
The investment fund, which owns around 8 percent of Clearwire, has said Sprint's offer of $2.97 share for the roughly 50 percent of Clearwire it does not currently own, "grossly undervalues Clearwire." Sprint's offer is worth about $2.2 billion, but Schumacher said Crest had not done its own valuation and was basing its criticism of the price on estimates by analysts.
In going to the FCC, Crest will argue that the Clearwire deal artificially undervalues the company's spectrum holdings, Schumacher said. That in turn potentially devalues future revenue for the U.S. government when it auctions off spectrum licenses.
"The merger is therefore a bad deal all around for Clearwire shareholders and also for the public at large," said Schumacher.
A spokesman for Clearwire, Mike DiGioia, declined to comment on Crest's intention to go to the FCC. He said a special committee of the board conducted a rigorous evaluation of the company's options before agreeing to the Sprint deal.
Clearwire's chief executive, Erik Prusch, has said the company does not have attractive alternatives as it seeks funding to continue to upgrade its own network and could risk bankruptcy if the Sprint deal does not succeed.
Crest has sued Clearwire in the Court of Chancery in Delaware, where the company is incorporated, to permanently block the deal.
The Delaware court will hear arguments next week on Crest's request to expedite the case and Schumacher said Crest hopes to move to a trial in April.
The deal will need approval by a majority of Clearwire's minority shareholders and Sprint has said it has the support of three large Clearwire investors - Comcast Corp, Intel Corp and Bright House Networks LLC - which hold 13 percent of Clearwire stock. Schumacher said the fund would try to prevent the three from voting because of their affiliation with Sprint.
As Clearwire's fight with its shareholders heats up, Sprint has its own shareholders to contend with.
A Kansas court on Friday declined Sprint's request for an early dismissal of a lawsuit by a union pension fund that holds Sprint stock.
The lawsuit alleged that Sprint's chief executive, Daniel Hesse, rushed merger talks with Softbank and did not get a fair price.
The ruling by Thomas Sutherland, the judge for the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, will allow the pension fund to begin to demand documents and witnesses as it tries to prove its case.
Sprint spokesman Scott Sloat did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Geo DC Message Board › One month to OpenStreetMap conference in DC!
|Bonnie B.
Group Organizer
Washington, DC
Hi everyone,
I wanted to remind everyone that the OpenStreetMap conference - State of the Map US - will be in DC next month on April 12 & 13.
This two-day event will bring together 400 people involved in mapping, GIS, open data, and using location data in their work and lives. There will be tons of opportunities to learn about OpenStreetMap and mapping overall, share your own experiences, and connect with people in this space. Plus it's right in town at the Convention Center.
Tickets cost $125 and can be bought here: http://stateofthemap..... This gets you access to all sessions and two social events.
If you want to come but need some extra help, we're looking for volunteers to help with registration and room moderation, and in exchange for their help are giving them free tickets. Hit me up if you're interested - space is limited and we'd love to see some local folks grab these.
Hope to see everyone out at State of the Map next month, and at the next Geo DC on April 2!
